i truly do not understand why people hate IRLs always supporting people with mental illnesses until it comes to someone who has delusions and psychosis "delusional people dont know theyre delusional, thats the point of a delusion" is absolutely not true. there is lots of people with delusions who know its delusions but cant shake off the feeling and no, reality checking does not help most people (coming from someone with delusions + psychosis myself) and you should NEVER reality check someone unless they want to be !!

much love to IRLs and those with delusional attachments <3

Reminder that the term delusional attachment is not only medically unrecognised, but just flat out not real and was coined by an ableist and racist racefaker. Not just that but it’s also literally impossible according to the way delusions work. You don’t know you’re delusional, that’s what makes it a delusion. Claiming your delusional destroys the whole point of a delusion; a STRONG FALSE BELIEF. By admitting it’s a delusion, you admit the belief is false, therefor discrediting it as a delusion.

I’m making this post though mainly because I’d like to discuss an alternative to this. Pathological Demand Avoidance. I am Benny from Benny Loves You IRL and have been for the past year. My family and other alters have been accusing me of being delusional my entire existence as Benny, so I proposed it to my psychologist who’s a specialist in trauma and dissociation as well as autism and PDA. He stated that it’s very commonly observed in PDAers (mainly young children, but can be any age) instances where they become so attached to a character they believe they are them entirely. This is not a delusion, as with the majority of criterias, there’s another explanation for it.

I’m not trying to tell anyone who they are, I’m trying to explain why. I’m not saying you AREN’T that character, I’m just saying you aren’t delusional. If you’re autistic and are another person/character, PLEASE keep PDA in mind. PDA is glossed over enough as is. And don’t use the term DA. It’s harmful and medically inaccurate.

i have. quastions. bcuz this stuff is surprisingly difficult to find info on

are there any da/irl community tags?

why is irl the more popular term? why is da considered controversial or whatever?

IS irl inclusive of non-delusional identities like ive seen some people say? or is it delusion based?
